"One of the most controversial sources in Star Wars is the infamous Nazi propaganda movie '', by , which glamorizes Hitler's triumphant arrival at the 1934 . It is the primary source for the final scene in which Hans, Luke and Chewbacca walk through a hall of assembled rebel soldiers to receive their medals. There is a striking similarity to Hitler’s arrival at the Nuremberg podium. There is no reason to suppose Lucas was attempting to promote Nazi ideology, it would seem he merely replicated a very powerful image from what is widely regarded as a brilliant, if very misguided, film." |

This is not a hysterical claim, it is verifiable and deserves to be included. Triumph of The Will, while it was a Nazi Propaganda film, was a massively influential and brilliant piece of cinematography and there is no doubt that Lucas took the imagery of the Nurenberg film and copied it almost completely. There is a Wiki page on 'Triumph of The Will', take a look and you will see the similarity confirmed there. |
